Eyes: very dark (think Pikesville rye kind of dark) Nose: straight away you get molasses, vanilla, cinnamon and dry red wine( not like a musk on a finished bourbon but more like a glass of really dry red wine) Palate: starts off super sweet and keeps going. Milk chocolate, root beer, and ends with a strong brown sugar that lingers on the lips. Finish: it ends sweet and dry. The dryness is most likely a byproduct of the second heavily charred barrel the whiskey is finished in. Mouth feel: thin but thats to be expected from a 93 proof Overall: very good pour. You will love it if you are a fan of the sweeter bourbon
